UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Tunbridge Wells Borough Council recently awarded a contract for the "TWBC - Green Belt Study" to Land Use Consultants. This tender falls under the services category, specifically focused on environmental impact assessment, excluding construction. This procurement process, classified as sub-central government public authority, was conducted through a limited competition method as it was below the threshold. The contract, valued at £82,576.50, spans from 9th March 2026 to 31st August 2026. The purpose of the study is to assess potential grey belt land in the Tunbridge Wells Borough to support its Local Plan Review. The buying organisation, located in Tunbridge Wells, used a limited procurement method, and the award was finalised on 5th February 2026.

This awarded contract presents opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental consulting and land use planning. Large firms with expertise in environmental impact assessments could benefit significantly, as the project involves evaluating land for future utilisation within the borough's planning framework. Such tenders are ideal for businesses with a track record of handling comprehensive environmental studies and advising local governments on land development strategies. Although the opportunity has been awarded, companies with relevant expertise can look for similar future opportunities to collaborate with borough councils on urban planning projects.
